Establishment Republicans are reportedly trying to convince former Utah Governor and failed 2012 presidential candidate Jon Huntsman to oust Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) in 2016. CNN&#x92;s John King said on Inside Politics that national establishment leaders in the business community will join state establishment leaders to try to convince President Barack Obama&#x92;s former Ambassador to China to challenge Lee. King noted that Huntsman&#x92;s deep-pocketed dad (Huntsman Sr., though, did pony up funds to his son&#x92;s campaign down the stretch&#x96;perhaps because he saw the writing on the wall.) does not like Lee (Huntsman Sr. is reportedly upset his cancer institute did...breitbart.comhttp://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3258010/posts#commentMon, 16 Feb 2015 14:21:34 GMTSunday Morning Talk Show Thread 25 January 2015http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3250420/posts
